  • Lemons½
  • Extra virgin olive oil2 tsp
  • Rye sourdough bread60 g

Method

  1. Let the prawns thaw in a sieve, not in water, and then dry them thoroughly with kitchen paper. Wet prawns start to boil in the pan instead of searing and turn rubbery.
  2. Slice the garlic thinly (don’t crush it — slices don’t catch as easily) and cut the chilli into rings.
  3. Heat the oil in a pan to a medium heat and put the garlic and chilli in. Fry 2 minutes, until the garlic is only just golden. If it browns it turns bitter and you have to start again.
  4. Turn the heat up, add the prawns, salt them and cook 90 seconds each side. They’re done when they curl into a C and turn pink. If they curl into an O, they’re overdone.
  5. Take the pan off the hob, squeeze over lemon and stir in a handful of chopped parsley.
  6. Serve at once with bread to wipe the pan out — all the flavour is left in the oil.

How to tell it’s done

  • Frozen peeled prawns — Done as soon as they turn pink and curl into a C. Curled into an O, they are overcooked and rubbery.
